The 2022 Kiwi coin was struck by New Zealand Post from 1 ounce of 99.9% silver in uncirculated quality and features a Specimen finish. Designed by Stephen Fuller, the motive depicts a Little Spotted Kiwi (Apteryx owenii) sitting in a nest with its chick. The design also includes the inscription "LITTLE SPOTTED KIWI - APTERYX OWENII" and the denomination. The reverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions "NEW ZEALAND," ".999 Ag 1oz," "ELIZABETH II" and "2022." The Little spotted kiwi, which the Māori also call "kiwi pukupuku" due to its round-bellied appearance, is the smallest of the five kiwi species. It lives on five islands off the coasts of New Zealand, where it was deliberately introduced by humans to ensure the survival of its species after it was almost wiped out on the two main islands. The plumage of the small omnivore is grayish brown to grayish with tiny pale spots. The Specimen Finish Kiwi Silver Coin is limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide and is delivered in an illustrated blistercard from the New Zealand Post.
